Chardon, Ohio, November 1, 2012- In 1983, President Ronald Reagan declared November as National Alzheimer’s Disease Month. According to the Alzheimer’s association, at that time less than two million Americans suffered from the disease; today that number has sky-rocketed to about 5.4 million. Employees at e2b teknologies will spend the entire month supporting the fight against Alzheimer’s.

e2b teknologies plans to utilize social media platforms to raise awareness among their peers. The company will post facts about the disease, statistics, opportunities to get involved, as well as tips on how to help keep the mind sharp as people age in hopes of warding off this disease. Visit the Alzheimer’s Association’s website for more information on National Alzheimer’s Disease Awareness Month, www.alz.org.

The company is also planning a charity golf scramble on Black Friday benefiting the National Alzheimer’s Foundation. e2b teknologies has invited employees and local customers as well as friends and family members who would like to come out and play. The Scramble will be held at the Madison Country Club located in North Madison, Ohio, which has offered to host the group of golfers.

“Alzheimer’s is such a sad and scary disease for not only the patient, but for their friends and family as well” says e2b teknologies President Lynne Henslee, “it is important to raise awareness in hopes that, through charitable efforts from the public and organizations such as the Alzheimer’s Foundation, we may be able to better understand this disease and how to prevent it, maybe even cure it one day.”
